If the restart work happens to run after the opmode left (i.e. called iwl_trans_op_mode_leave), then the opmode memory (including its mutex) is likely to be freed already, and trans->opmode is NULL. Although the hw is stopped in that stage, which means that this restart got aborted (i.e. STATUS_RESET_PENDING will be cleared), it still can access trans->opmode (NULL pointer dereference) or the opmodes memory (which is freed). Fix this by canceling the restart wk in iwl_trans_op_mode_leave. Also make sure that the restart wk is really aborted.
